Larry Audlaluk, interim president of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, presents director of finance Bob St. Eloi with a plaque of thanks for his 10 years of service for the association at the QIA’s annual general meeting in Iqaluit, Oct. 7. St. Eloi will retire from his position at the end of December. “I’m leaving happy, satisfied and looking forward to the future,” the longtime director said. St. Eloi is departing on a high note. He reported a budget surplus of $18.7 million for the QIA’s 2013-2014 financial year, well over the previous year’s surplus of roughly $1.4 million. (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
